I really really really despise Microsoft's habit of filtering on user-agent in their websites!
I remember back when I worked at (then recently acquired by Microsoft) Mojang and was building a solution to log into Minecraft using a Microsoft account, i couldn't access Xbox.com because I was on a Linux machine. This was during their Microsoft <3 Linux campaign.
I sent a very angry email to our internal contacts in the relevant team telling them to stop blocking us from developing a feature for Minecraft that our mutual overlord had dictated we implement.
It actually worked (kinda)! They removed user-agent filtering from the pages we needed. I wish they removed it from their business practice entirely, but that's to big an ask I guess
